No human data and inadequate evidence ffom animal bioassays. Metribuzin did not increase the incidence of tumors in a lifetime dietary study using CD-1 mice when compared with both concurrent and historic controls. In a 2-year feeding study in Wistar rats, no significant differences in neoplastic findings between the test and control groups were found. Short-term studies in bacteria and mammalian systems suggest that metribuzin is not mutagenic.
